Chapter 596 - 186: Nine Paths’ Loyal Souls, Fierce Clashes, Father and Son Reunion
But, to give birth to a Jade Remains, who knows how many mothers and children must die.
Truly...
Lady Yan in Cyan Robe’s eyes flashed with a human-like anger, her fists gently clenched.
After a while...
Li Yuan finally said, "Sister Yan, the Yin Qi marks on me right now, should be from the Miracle Beast Garden or Lianyi House, right?"
Yan Yu thought for a while, then shook her head, saying, "I always feel this power is more profound... but I can’t be certain."
Li Yuan fell silent.
Suddenly Yan Yu said, "My dear, I have an idea.
You said the Divine Tomb has no presence of Yin or Yang.
And these Yin Qi marks are like small seeds hanging on you...
If you manage to visit the Divine Tomb, you should be able to wash away these marks directly."
Li Yuan nodded...
However, the Divine Tomb is not so easily entered.
Once inside, whether you are God or Demon, you become an existence of data "0~1".
In these circumstances, the cold-resistant and vast-bodied Ice and Snow Giant Wolves become extremely strong guards.
And these guards all follow the commands of the Wolf Mother.
Li Yuan dared not bet his life on trust in the Wolf Mother.
Even though he took the Wolf Mother to watch the sunset and formed an alliance with her, he still wouldn’t gamble.
He can certainly have the Wolf Mother withdraw all the Giant Wolves in advance and utilize his Beast Taming Skill to check if it’s cleared.
But if the Wolf Mother harbors ill intent and launches a sudden attack with the wolves somewhere on the boundary of the Divine Tomb, it would be disastrous.
At that time, his power wouldn’t have recovered, while the wolves possess considerable strength.
Therefore, this becomes a problem.
Li Yuan’s pupils slightly narrowed, revealing a thoughtful expression.
...
...
Over a month later.
A gray-haired Li Yuan appeared before the Divine Tomb.
Ice-blue crystal pillars cascaded from the sky, falling into this vast tomb, crisscrossing and emanating a grand spectacle like an Ice Crystal Garden of giants.
And between the ice pillars are the various postured "buried ones."
These are members of the Nine Flames Race who were deceived and "froze to death" here, yet in the eyes of other race members, they might open their eyes again when the sun returns to this world.
Behind Li Yuan were two people.
One, riding on a Gray Wolf, was a stunning woman with exceptional grace and a solemn expression.
The other was a man standing barefoot on the ground.
No! It may be more appropriate to describe him as a youth or a big boy.
This boy was incredibly strong, let’s not say boy, he was strong to the extent of a muscle monster...
Standing about a ten feet tall, muscles twisted, and eyes like celestial stars, shining brightly, making it hard for anyone to look directly.
The Evil Qi surrounding him surged, forming a vortex spiraling nonstop, resembling a Blood Demon God.
His hand clutched the Golden Giant Axe, face calm, yet inside unbridled fervor as he looked at the elderly in front of the tomb.
This person was Li Yuan’s son—Zhenyan Huang.
Also, the current Barbarian King.
With the Barbarian King here, it’s akin to having an immovable Sea God Needle, no more Ice and Snow Giant Wolves dare enter the tomb.
At this moment, beside the Barbarian King, naturally stood the Queen Mother—Zhenyan Xue.
Li Yuan sought out Zhenyan Xue, asking her and their child to help stand guard outside the Divine Tomb while he first takes a look at his burial place within.
Zhenyan Xue readily agreed.
Father and son met, remained silent on the journey.
At this time, within the Divine Tomb, the Wolf Mother began leading the wolves out slowly.
Li Yuan planned to let his tamed Ice and Snow Giant Wolves enter again to investigate.
But at this moment, he suddenly froze for a moment because he discovered the Wolf Mother had turned into a very young, unfamiliar girl.
He frowned slightly looking at this girl.
The girl bowed to him, respectfully saying, "The agreement between Wolf Mother and you is forever intact."
Li Yuan asked, puzzled, "Where is the previous Wolf Mother?"
The new Wolf Mother said, "She’s embraced the ice and snow, found the true meaning of life."
After saying this, she pointed to the distance, saying, "She’s there."
Li Yuan slowly turned his head, only to see between the vast ice pillar tomb and those postured and eternally frozen buried ones, there was another person...
A woman...
A familiar woman...
Scenes flashed through Li Yuan’s mind: The girl wrapped in Silver Gauze, barefoot, stepping on wolf spines, alluringly arriving with the snow. Her face holy, eyes enchanting.
He also recalled the sunset watching scene: The sunset’s rays illuminating her face, reflecting her lines of tears.
The sunset turned her tears scarlet, like flames.
She seemed frozen, eyes unblinkingly staring at the sunset one could only see once in a lifetime.
She watched the sunset dip beneath the horizon, saw the world darken again, then said, "Let’s go back,"
Memories faded, transforming into the scene before him.
The Wolf Mother had cast off Silver Gauze, running on the desolate icy burial ground as if trying to escape.
But... she was already frozen stiff, turning into a running ice sculpture, emitting a blue glow, appearing among countless "buried ones," becoming one of them.
Not far away, from the ice abyss came the grating, cold sound of the icy snow moving, sharp and sinister.
This sound... broke Li Yuan’s gaze.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, deeply looking at the ice sculpture of the former Wolf Mother, then lightly knocked his cane.
And the young Ice and Snow Giant Wolves he just tamed "swoosh swoosh" surged into the Divine Tomb.
After investigating, confirming there’s nothing within the tomb, these young Ice and Snow Giant Wolves slowly retreated.
Li Yuan looked at the Barbarian King behind him, saying, "Child, if I don’t come out, kill the Wolf Mother, make everything here public."
Zhenyan Huang said nothing, only nodding, then watching as the white-haired elder walked toward the Divine Tomb.
His surface was calm, but his right hand gripping the five fingers of the axe tightly grasped the golden axe.
He is the Barbarian King...
The Barbarian King mustn’t cry.
So he glanced sideways at the Wolf Mother.
The Wolf Mother was stared at like this, felt as if a terrifying cannibalistic monster was watching, causing chills all over.
